INFO:
Ángel David Comizzo is an Argentine former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Born in Reconquista, Santa Fe (04/27/1962), he began his career as a footballer at Talleres de Córdoba in Argentina's Primera División in 1982. In 1988, River Plate bought his transfer rights, and he soon secured a starting position in the first team. Before being loaned to Tigres in Mexico for the 1990-1991 season, he won two of the four titles he would achieve with the "millonaria" institution. In 1993, he had to leave River Plate due to his terrible relationship with then-head coach Daniel A. Passarella, and América de Cali in Colombia hired his services. However, he returned to Argentina that same year to play for Banfield. In 1996, he returned to Mexican football, first playing for Club León, with whom he reached the final of the 1997 Invierno Tournament, and from 1999 for Monarcas Morelia, where he was crowned champion after saving three penalties from Toluca in the final of the 2000 Invierno Tournament. After five years away from Argentine football, he returned to River Plate in 2001, where he was a cornerstone in winning the Clausura tournaments in 2002 and 2003. At the end of the second tournament, coach Manuel Pellegrini separated him from the team, so he joined Atlético de Rafaela, where he played one more season before retiring from professional football.

Ángel Comizzo is one of the most important goalkeepers in the history of Club Atlético River Plate, being the fourth goalkeeper with the most matches and clean sheets in the club's history, with 96 clean sheets in 208 matches (behind Amadeo Carrizo, Ubaldo Fillol, and Franco Armani). He also holds the record for the fourth-longest time with River Plate's goal unbeaten, with 760 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal in the 1991/92 season (behind Amadeo Carrizo in 1966, 1968, and Franco Armani in 2018). Comizzo is also remembered as one of the best foreign goalkeepers to have played in the Mexican League due to his excellent performances for Club León and Monarcas Morelia. His save against Ricardo Peláez in the semifinals of the 1997 Mexican League has been voted numerous times as one of the best saves in Mexico's history. Despite this, Comizzo never had opportunities with the Argentina National Team, with his only participation being in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where he was called up as the third goalkeeper following Nery Pumpido's injury.
